How would that be easily done? – Well. There is a handy namespace called System.Net.Mail
First I created a class called EmailMessage to hold the message specific data, and added a nice little constructor to that.

Then what? I asked the IT guy, but he could help me sometime in the future. I was kinda eager to make this code send something to my inbox as soon as possible. Then someone suggested using gmail as smtp server.
So, I created a new account (all the good accounts are already taken, so I had to settle for a bland one). Then I wrote some code to call my EmailService

And that’s about how far I got this time. I will probably abandon all this code as soon as I find something better. But for now it actually does exactly what I want it to.
Last but not least: Beware of code sending emails all over the place. Don’t use real adresses for test purposes!
